Giving Back to the Earth

We consider ourselves blessed and fortunate to be able to contribute to the development of our community and our country.

Each member of our team works with those less fortunate, in hopes of rebuilding our country, which has been torn apart by genocide and civil war.

Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in the world.
In this difficult environment, education plays a major role in paving the way for a better future.

For this reason, To Asia Travel donates both time and money to underprivileged children and young people, building schools in rural villages and supporting numerous development projects. Please join us to make this world a better place!

We strongly believe that we can make a positive change in society by providing customized tours with a focus on ethical and environmentally friendly tourism practices and promoting sustainable development, both locally and globally.

We built the 7 following schools so far for the villages in the country which are now the home of education to over 1000 kids! 

Chong Proley Primary School,in Siem Reap province’s Sonikum district, the first floating school in the village, Kompong Kleang. it serves over 100 students!

We set up a small computer club, in Kok Pnov primary School in Siem Reap province’s Angkor District. It serves over 10 teachers and 400 students

Bai Dos Primary School , located in Siem Reap province’s Varin’s district, the first in village. It serves five classes of students in village.

Kro Long Primary School, the first school for kids, located in Siem Reap province’s Angkor Chum district. It serves more than a hundred students !

Kro Long Primary School, our school no. 11!
This project marks our second expanded and upgraded building, adding 3 classrooms to accommodate a growing student body of over 100 children, supported by 4 official government teachers .
Today, the school serves more than a hundred students from the area and neighboring villages.
Our journey here began in 2015 when we helped construct the first proper school building in this rural village (  Angkor Chum district of Siem Reap province). The story originally started with a single volunteer teaching 10–15 children under the trees , and he compensated only with rice from the parents. Following the construction of the school, student numbers grew rapidly.
Even today, over 50% of the students face the challenge of walking more than 60 minutes each day to attend classes!

Srolao Srong Primary School in Siem Reap province’s Chikreng District , this is the first school in the village. There are over a hundred students !

Cha Primary school – School Number 10th

This school had been waiting over 20 years to get a proper building and roof. Now, around 100 students, 6 teachers, and their parents are happy and grateful for the new school. It used to be one of the schools in the poorest condition in the Varin district of Siem Reap Province. But since 2022, it has become one of the best in the district, fully equipped with a kitchen for the children’s breakfast, clean drinking water for everyone in the community, and a beautiful library.

To raise the funds, our CEO, Wath, went on a 1,500 km cycling trip over ten days. Starting on November 19th in Siem Reap and ending on November 28th in Saigon, Vietnam, the journey collectively raised $35,000 USD.
